1. INTRODUCTION
Fire has become one of the major disasters which endanger people's life and property safety. In all kinds of fire
accidents, the number of building fire is the largest. The damage and collapse of building structure is the main reason
for the huge economic losses and casualties. Such as the 2001 “9.11” event, two 110 - storey towers of the world trade
center in New York collapsed in succession in the fire caused by plane crash. And in April 2013, Xiangyang, Hubei, a
hotel fire caused a total of 61 casualties. In October 2013, Shijing Mountain, Beijing, two fire brigades died in the line
of duty and great damage to property was caused in the fire of Xilongduo mall. In December 2013, Yuexiu District,
Guangzhou, Jianye Building (a 25-layer building) was burned clean form, the tenth layer to the top, caused huge
property losses.
In order to improve the safety of the structures under fire and reduce the loss caused by fire on people's social life
and casualties, in recent years, researchers have carried out extensive research on the mechanical properties of building
structures under fire (high temperature). In traditional combination structure, the steel reinforced concrete structure
(SRC structure) and Concrete-Filled Tubular structure (CFT structure), which have good mechanical performance and
economic performance, have been widely used in High-rise, super high-rise and complex high-rise buildings. China has
become the fastest developing country of high-rise and super high-rise building in the world. Composite structure will
be more widely used in engineering by the good performance above. Building structure will lead to different degrees of
damage under different fire environment. The damage accumulated to a certain degree will cause collapse. Conversely,

if the damage was accumulated to a lower degree, the building structure can maintain normal function after reinforcing
and repairing according to the feasible plan which is put forward by the designers.
In this paper, the research results of composite structures damage mechanism and mechanical property after
exposure to fire are discussed, according to the main line of the basic component to the joint and then to the overall
structure. Existing problems and development trend are also analyzed.

2. GENERAL RESEARCH ON COMPOSITE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

2.1. Composite Beam and Plate Element


Static test results on the mechanical properties of seven groups of steel reinforced concrete beams were reported in
reference [1]. The study results indicated that the failure mode of the specimen after exposure to fire was similar to that
in room temperature, but the shear cracks on the beam web appeared earlier. The plane cross-section assumption could
be satisfied at initial loading stage for the beams which failed flexibly. However, the strain distribution along the section
height was not satisfying linear relationship when the load was over 80 percent of the limit loads. Compared with the
bearing capacity in room temperature, the shear strength and bending strength after exposure to fire reduced about 15
percent and 17.5 percent in average, respectively. Numerical simulating analysis was launched in reference [2] to study
the residual bearing capacity of the steel reinforced concrete beams after exposure to fire. Furthermore, the parameter
such as concrete strength, shear span ratio, section steel ratio and temperature elevating time was selected and its
influence to the residual bearing capacity after exposure to ISO834 standard fire was analyzed by using FEM. The
results showed that the ultimate strength of steel reinforced concrete beams after exposure to ISO834 standard fire
reduced obviously as compared with that in room temperature. The residual strength could be influenced by the
temperature elevating time in a large degree, and the residual strength could reduce to 68 percent of that in room
temperature after 120 min. With the increase of shear span ratio and section steel ratio, the residual strength could also
increase. However, the residual strength was not sensitivity to the concrete strength. Experiments on nine groups of pre-
stressed steel reinforced concrete simple-supported beam were carried out in reference [3] to study their mechanical
properties under fire and after exposure to fire. The influence of the parameter, such as fire temperature effect time,
degree of pre-stress, to the bearing capacity of the beam was studied and the simplified calculation method for
calculating the residual strength of the pre-stressed beam was also proposed based on the equivalent section method.
The results showed that the crack development rule was similar to that in room temperature, but the crack load reduced
clearly. And the mid-span deflection of the beam under the same loading level would increase obviously as the fire
temperature effect time went on. Furthermore, the mid-span deflection would decrease when the degree of the pre-stress
was larger. For the exist of the pre-stress, the beam also had good crack closing capacity. Experiments on fourteen
groups of pre-stressed steel reinforced concrete simple-supported beam were carried out in reference [4]. During the fire
test process, the load was applied on the pre-stressed SRC beam for some specimen, then the static loading test was
carried on. Based on the finite element method, the normal bending capacity calculation method for the pre-stressed
SRC beam after exposure to fire was established. The results showed good agreement with the experiment results.
Considering the material properties at high temperature, the crack width calculation method was also proposed. An
experimental study was carried on in reference [5] to understand the mechanical behavior of the ceramsite concrete
composite floor after exposure to fire. The results found that the failure mode of the steel sheet-ceramsite concrete
composite floor after fire was different from that in room temperature. The post-fire bearing capacity of the slab was
only 60 percent of that in room temperature. And the residual strength of the slab after exposure to fire would increase
as its thickness increased. However, this residual strength of the slab would reduce obviously for the exist of stud which
was welded on the steel sheet. Considering this point, small studs should not be used to enhancing the strength of the
composite plate element in practical projects. Furthermore, the mechanical behavior of the slab in a structure was
indeed different to that in experiment condition, for the binding effect from the beams around the slab. And the
redistribution of the internal force would take place for the interaction between beam and slab during the process of fire.
Therefore, the evaluation methodology for mechanical behavior of the constrained floor slab after exposure to fire
should be developed in the future.

2.2. Composite Column


The concrete filled steel tubular column and steel reinforced concrete column were applied in high rise and ultra-
high rise buildings for their good seismic performance. The mechanical performance and failure mechanism study of
the composite column after exposure to fire would have large significance to the buildings reconstruction after exposure
State-of-the-Art of Research on Damage Mechanism and Mechanical The Open Civil Engineering Journal, 2017, Volume 11 869

to fire. Twelve specimens which cross section is circular or square were designed to study the residual bearing capacity
after exposure to the standard ISO-834 and China standard GB9978-88 fire in the reference [6, 7]. The study results
indicated that the failure mode of the specimen after exposure to fire was similar to that in room temperature; the
residual strength of the column was obviously lower than the strength in room temperature. The load eccentricity ratio
has a little influence on residual strength of column after exposure to high temperature. The load-displacement curve
after exposure to standard fire through theoretical analysis in the reference [8, 9], then the parameters of steel ratio,
concrete strength grade, load eccentricity ratio were chosen in the analysis of residual strength after exposure to fire.
The results showed that the main factors affect the residual strength of concrete filled steel tubular columns were
slenderness ratio, the time exposure to fire and the thickness of the protective layer. Finally, the simplified evaluation
method for residual strength of the composite columns after exposure to fire was proposed. The static test was
conducted in reference [10, 11] on the concrete filled steel rectangular tubular columns after exposure to the ISO-834
standard fire. Then the expand analysis and theoretical analysis were launched, and the residual strength coefficient
formula which was used to evaluate the bearing capacity of the concrete filled steel tubular columns after exposure to
fire was determined by regression analysis. The calculation parameters of the axial compression strength of the concrete
filled steel tubular column after exposure to fire was studied based on numerical analysis in reference [12]. Then the
residual axial compression strength of the concrete filled steel tubular columns was calculated after the feature points of
axial compression constitutive curve and the coefficient of equivalent restraint effect was determined. Furthermore, At
the simplified moment curvature model was given when the feature points on moment-curvature relation curve was
determined by the numerical analysis method. The influence coefficient formula to evaluate the ultimate strength of the
concrete filled steel square tubular column with or without fire- protection layer and concrete protection layer was
provided in reference [13]. Experiment on three steel reinforced concrete column with inner circular steel tubular was
carried out in reference [14 - 16]. The residual axial compression strength after exposure to high temperature was also
studied. The influence coefficient of the residual strength was calculated by using the computer program. And the
parameters which could influence the residual strength coefficient such as fire duration time, longitudinal reinforcement
ratio, position coefficient, section size were chosen to make an extended analysis, it is regarded that the longer time
exposed to fire, the more residual strength decreased. In addition, the larger position coefficient and the greater section
dimension could result in higher residual strength coefficient. The mechanical property of the centrifugal concrete filled
steel tubular column after exposure to fire was studied based on the finite element analysis in reference [17]. The
numerical model was fired uniformly on four faces. The study results found that there was no obvious elastic stage and
plastic stage in the load-deformation curve, and the curve is basically a diagonal straight line in the whole process. With
the time exposure to fire increased, the bearing capacity dropped and the maximum strain value also decreased. When
the temperature exceed 900°C, the residual strength of the specimen almost was zero. Moreover, the residual strength
evaluation method for the centrifugal concrete filled steel tubular short column after exposure to the standard fire was
proposed. The temperature field distribution of the steel reinforced concrete column during the rising and dropping
process of the temperature was analyzed in reference [18]. The maximum temperature of each node was also obtained
by the program. The load-strain curves of the steel reinforced concrete column under axial compression was calculated
after the results of the maximum temperature were read into the numerical model. The residual strength of the steel
reinforced concrete column after exposure to fire was influenced in a large degree by parameters of the section
dimension, steel ratio, fire duration time and slenderness ratio compared with the parameters of the steel type, the
concrete strength grade. Experiment on two H-section steel reinforced concrete eccentric compression column under
ISO-834 standard fire was launched in reference [19]. The results showed that the residual strength of the steel
reinforced concrete composite column was greatly affected by the fire load ratio. The static loading test was conducted
on eight H-section steel reinforced concrete columns after exposure to fire in reference [20, 21]. The results indicated
that the failure mode of the specimen after exposure to fire was similar to that in room temperature, and the residual
strength of the column decreased obviously. The quasi-static test on concrete filled steel tubular column after exposure
to fire was conducted in reference [22 - 24]. The results found that the column showed good energy dissipation capacity
and deformation capacity. However, the energy dissipation capacity of column with circle cross section is better than
the column with square cross section. A fuel gas and electricity composite heating method was put forward in reference
[25, 26]. The quasi-static test on nine concrete filled steel tubular columns after exposure to fire was carried out using
this method. The results indicated that the column showed good ductility and energy dissipation capacity both at room
temperature and after exposure to fire. Compared with the column in room temperature condition, the energy
dissipation capacity and deformation capacity improved and the bearing capacity and the stiffness of the column
decreased after exposure to fire.

3. GENERAL RESEARCH ON COMPOSITE STRUCTRAL JIONTS AND FRAME


Beam-column joints are the key parts of the structure system. Research on the mechanical properties,seismic
behavior and damage evolution rule of the joint after exposure to fire (high temperature) could provide a scientific basis
for the establishment of performance evaluation. Some achievements were obtained through the experimental study and
theoretical analysis. Seismic performance tests were carried on fourteen concrete filled tubular column and steel beam
joints with outer concentric annular-stiffer in reference [27, 28]. The influence on the ductility and energy dissipation
property of the parameters including the section types, the fire duration time, the beam-column stiffness ratio is
discussed. The results showed that, compared with the concrete-filled circular steel tubes, concrete-filled square steel
tube joint is easy to have steel tube buckling and the cracks. Then its deformation and energy dissipation capacity
decreased for this. However, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the joint, which has bigger linear stiffness
ratio of beam-column and longer fire duration time, are improved. In addition,nonlinear finite element model which
could be applied to the analysis of force-displacement of the joint after exposure to fire is proposed. Moreover,
geometric and physical nonlinearity were considered in this model. Experimental study and finite element analysis were
launched on three concrete filled steel tubular column-composite beam joints and three steel reinforced concrete
column-steel reinforced concrete beams joints in reference [29]. The results showed that the ultimate bending strength
of the joint after exposure to fire is lower than that in room temperature. And the influence of cooling process on
concrete filled steel tubular column-composite beam joint is bigger than steel reinforced concrete column-steel
reinforced concrete beam joint. It was also recommended that the performance assessment of the post-fire joint should
consider the effects of temperature and loading path. Finite element analysis by using the software of ABAQUS was
conducted on a single-span single-floor plane frame in reference [30]. The frame was constructed by steel reinforced
concrete columns and beams and reinforced concrete floor. The influence of the fire duration time, the axial
compression ratio and load types on mid-span of beams to the seismic performance of the frame was analyzed. The
results indicated that with the increasement of the load ratio on mid-span of the beams the frame stiffness could have
minor changes. The frame structure after exposure to fire showed good energy-dissipation capacity under the condition
of small axial compression ratio and shorter time of fire. The research mentioned above mainly focused on the inner
joints, and the main contents were as follows: 1) monotonic loading or quasi-static loading tests on the joints after
exposure to fire; 2) full-process analysis of load-displacement and parameter analysis; 3) evaluation method for residual
bearing capacity after exposure to fire. Since the mechanical behavior and failure mechanism of the inner joint and the
exterior joint as well as the corner joint were different. Furthermore, the damage evolution rule of the floor would have
impacts on seismic performance of the joints behavior after exposure to fire. Therefore, research in this aspect need to
be strengthened in future study.

3.1. Research and Development Prospect


Based on the study and analysis on the damage mechanism and residual mechanical property of the composite
structure after exposure to fire, the following areas need to have an intensive study in future.

3.1.1. Performance Research on Composite Structure with Special Shaped Section After Exposure to Fire
Concrete structure with specially shaped columns are widly used in practical projects in recent years. The
advantages of this kind of structure are flexible construction, low cost and with large indoor effective area. Especially
with the emergence of large complex ultrahigh-rise buildings, the mega composite columns with special-shaped section
has been adopted to meet the functional requirements of the building. Compared with the ordinary steel concrete
composite structure, the composite structure with special shaped section has higher steel ratio and exposure area to fire.
So, the composite structure with special shaped section is more likely to suffer from the damage in the same condition.
For this purpose, it is necessary to study the mechanical properties, seismic performance and evaluation methodology
after exposure to fire for the composite structure with special shaped section.

3.1.2. Performance Research on High Strength Steel Concrete Composite Structure After Exposure to Fire
High strength steel has been successfully used in multiple building structures and bridge structures for its high
strength, good toughness and other advantages at home and abroad. Here, we believe that the yield strength standard
value of the high strength steel is more than 460 MPa. Stainless steel as a kind of high strength steel has also been
applied in composite structure and the experiments on concrete filled stainless steel square tube short columns was
launched to study its mechanical property in reference [31]. In addition, tests on Q460 high strength steel column were
conducted in references [32, 33]. The test results indicated that the Q460 high strength steel column also has good
State-of-the-Art of Research on Damage Mechanism and Mechanical The Open Civil Engineering Journal, 2017, Volume 11 871

seismic performance. Furthermore, the material property of the Q460 high strength steel under high temperature was
also studied through the fire test in reference [34]. In order to improve the safety of building structures in fire,
earthquake and so on, the use of high strength steel is imperative and this has been reflected in the newly revised design
specification. Based on the study of the properties of high strength steel material, research on the failure mechanism and
mechanical property of high strength steel reinforced concrete structure under or after the action of fire would provide
scientific basis for engineering design.

3.1.3. Effect of Floor Damage Evolution on Structure Performance


In practical building structure, beams exist around the slab. At the end of the beam, the floor slab could participate
in the work as the flange of the beam. Slab could increase the stiffness of the upper part of the beam end, so the beam
end plastic hinge can not be fully formed and the ideal energy dissipation mechanism can not be achieved. Moreover,
under the action of fire, the redistribution of the internal force would happen for the interaction between beam and slab.
The mechanical property of the structure would also be different from that without considering the slab-beam
interaction. However, the existing study does not consider the action of the slab and the reliability of the analysis was
reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the study on the impact of the slab damage evolution rule on structure
performance after exposure to fire in the future.
